A novel approach to fault detection for fuzzy stochastic systems with nonhomogeneous processes.

In this paper, we consider a class of fuzzy stochastic systems with nonhomogeneous jump processes. Our focus is on the design of a fuzzy fault detection filter that is sensitive to faults but robust against unknown inputs. Furthermore, the error filtering system is stochastically stable. With reference to an H ∞ performance index and a new performance index, sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of a fuzzy robust fault detection filter are derived. Simulation studies are carried out, showing that the proposed fuzzy robust FD filter can rapidly detect the faults correctly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
